Question

A developer is building a customer support summarization feature. The current prompt produces summaries that are accurate but occasionally miss the specific format the team wants (bullet points grouped by issue type). The model consistently demonstrates it can handle the reasoning and understands the content when tested. The developer is deciding whether to switch to a more capable model or continue refining the prompt. What is the most appropriate first step?

Accepted Answer

Continue prompt engineering, since the model already handles the task's reasoning and the issue is about output format and instruction clarity

Answer

Switch to the most capable available model immediately to guarantee the desired format

Answer

Lower the temperature to zero, since format problems are always caused by randomness

Answer

Abandon the feature, because formatting requirements cannot be reliably met with language models
